Orem, UT – Feb 25, 2005 - ProCert Communications LLC (ProCert Labs) announced today their selection by Adobe® Systems Incorporated to create a new third-party courseware authorization program – Adobe Approved Certification Courseware. Under the agreement ProCert Labs will review and analyze all third party learning materials designed to help individuals prepare for the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) exams.
Publishers seeking authorization for their learning materials may submit materials to ProCert Labs for review. The materials will be reviewed for instructional design integrity and content coverage of the associated ACE exam(s).

“Since the Adobe Certified Expert program launched in 1995 it has helped thousands of certified individuals promote their proficiency with Adobe products. Improving the way people learn is the next step in the certification’s growth,” said Bill McCulloch of the WW Partner Programs Group at Adobe. “Opening up the options for different types of qualified learning materials will help make ACE certification attainable for more people, ensure quality throughout, and improve an individual’s learning experience.”
Any publisher that successfully completes the submission and review process may receive the Approved Certification Courseware Logo to promote their associated courseware.
“The ACE certification exams embody an excellent program with a large potential market. Our partnership is a significant step in strengthening the program’s standards of quality as it grows worldwide,” said Edson Barton, CEO of ProCert Labs. “ProCert Labs is excited to provide our services for another global IT certification program.”
Publishers interested in participating in the Adobe Approved Certification Courseware program should contact ProCert Labs directly to obtain information about the review criteria and to submit instructional materials for review. Materials receiving approval will be listed on both ProCert Labs’ and Adobe’s website.

Effective March 1, 2005, the current Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA), Citrix Certified Enterprise Administrator (CCEA), and the Citrix Certified Sales Professional (CCSP) tracks will be segmented into new certification tracks specific to MetaFrame XP Presentation Server and MetaFrame Access Suite 3.0.
Citrix Education recognizes that different MetaFrame Access Suite versions may necessitate different certification track structures. Citrix Education, therefore, will begin structuring its certification tracks according to MetaFrame Access Suite versions. The new certification tracks will provide the following benefits:
- Citrix certifications will be aligned closely with specific product platforms, such as MetaFrame Access Suite 3.0
- Citrix customers and partners will have a clearer understanding of certified individuals’ areas of expertise

LPI has initiated a quality improvement process designed to maintain exam relevance while deterring cheating.
Under this new process, English-language exams administered at Prometric and VUE testing centres will be extended to 120 minutes in order to allow a limited number of new pilot questions to be seeded into each exam.
While scores on these pilot items are not included as part of candidate scores, they are used to determine item validity and quality before the items become part of the pool of official, scored exam questions. In order for the evaluation of pilot questions to be valid and useful, LPI cannot indicate which items on each exam are pilot items.
In addition to this change, the exam forms for LPI exams will be changed with greater frequency.
As of September 2004, this process is now in place for the two exams required for LPIC Level 1 certification and the process may be extended to LPIC Level 2 in the future. By frequently rotating exams and growing our item pool in this way, we enhance the security of our exams (by impeding cheating and the potential for brain dumps) and help protect the value of LPI's certification program.
